I'm 26 y/o, 5'4". 120 lbs. I have always been extremely self concious about the size of my breasts (I'm 34AA shooting for 34 C) and always dreamed of having bigger, fuller breasts and finally that opportunity has come to knock on my door. I get very nervious thinking about going under the knife and being put to sleep, but I can wait for all this to be over and finally be able to completely fill up a bra and not be shy and self conscious about my breast size. I love my body but I have always felt unhappy about my breasts.

I have my pre-op this saturday and my surgery is scheduled for April 13th, Im just nervious thinking about the recovery time, if I will be able to go back to work in a few days, I have an office job, but Im very active love working out spinning, boxing, zumba, cardio classes and I know that will have to wait a few months perhaps, does anyone have any advices they can give me for the recovery time, I've heard about getting a wedge pillow so I wont' roll all over my bed after surgery and button up pjs, but are there any other tips from ladies who have already been trhough this? any relaxation advice pre surgery I know I'm going to get super nervious! lol!! I would greatly appreciate any imput about going throught his.

Welcome to RealSelf and thank you for starting your story here! You might want to read this article by Walnut Creek, who has been through breast augmentation.

This will be over before you know it and you'll be the proud owner of gorgeous new breasts!

I have my pre op this saturday and I think I'm getting a bit of anxiety and this might sound weird and I don't know if it has happened to anyone but my breast are feeling too sensitive and kind of hurt...i guess they know what's about to happen lol! =P I think it's just me thinking too much about it, my surgery is still a week away and the days couldn't be going any more slower!

Also, my hubby will be working on the day of the surgery so I'm going to be home alone, any tips on how to make it easier for me to survive the first day or do you just sleep for the rest of the day? I know I need to have things handy, maybe prepare food before hand and just have everything near me in case I can't get off of bed...hmm I really don't know what to expect after I get home from surgery =/

When I got home yesterday I mostly slept. If you aren't going to have anyone home with you make sure you have water and crackers where you can reach them without getting up. Maybe put a tray on the bed next to you so you won't have to reach at all. If you'll need meds make sure you have someone take one out of the bottle for you before they leave. It sounds silly, but you won't be able to open the bottle yourself.
I needed help getting out of bed...even being propped up it was hard to do. I loved my chapstick. Water, water, water! If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. :)
I hope this made sense! I am still taking a little bit of medication!

So I had my prreop on Saturday and we went over implant sizes I am going with 350cc silicone high profile, but now that I'm home I am debating if I could go 375cc, my consultant said it might be too big for my frame to support it, but the doctor is going to see if he can do it, if not 350cc it is I guess on the day of the surgery we are going to make the decision =/ Also, since I don't really have a defined crest underneath my breasts my ps is going to make the incision in the areola, so the scar is less visible, I was super concerned about sensitivity loss but I guess it's just a chance we have to take, but thank goodness my dr has great reviews and his patients seem extremely happy with their results.
I am getting nervous about the surgery, and I had a minor anxiety attack at 3 am today, woke up thinking, what if this isn't really what I want? or what if after the surgery I regret it? I guess it's just the nervousness that is making me second guess myself. Ahh Friday can't come soon enough, I have to start getting everything ready and make sure my place is clean and I have everything handy and ready for after the surgery, I guess I overthink everything way too much hehe! Thank goodness for sites like this I keep reading the blogs to give me courage and inspire me, I know things we'll be ok and I will finally be able to feel confident about my looks.
